What's here

Three resources, one data layer. The Grand Challenges page frames the field around three areas — access, supply, and coordination — and twelve sub-challenges, with the relevant literature attached to each. The Literature page is a searchable database of 100+ works across Management Science, Operations Research, M&SOM, POM, and JOM, filterable by challenge, journal, and 20 topic classifiers, with one-click BibTeX export. The Datasets page curates the open data sources that empirical energy-operations work relies on.

How the literature is selected

The database centers on peer-reviewed operations-management research on energy, together with closely related economics and select working papers. Open datasets and public data sources live on their own Datasets page. Coverage is a living effort and inevitably incomplete — inclusion is not an endorsement, and omissions are opportunities to contribute, not judgments.

Contribute

Suggest a paper through the suggestion form — it sends the details to the maintainer for review. Nothing is published automatically; suggestions sit in a review queue and are added to the database when accepted. To propose changes to an existing entry — a different tag, a corrected DOI — use the Suggest an edit button on any paper's card in the Literature library.
